[ Famous Quotes ] History

"The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards." ~ Walter Bagehot (1826-77) "All historians, even the most scientific, have bias, if in no other sense than the determination not to have any." ~ Carl Lotus Becker (1873-1945), American historian "Strike from mankind the principle of faith and men would have no more history than a flock of sheep." ~ Mark Beltaire "If we fight a war and win it with H-bombs, what history will remember is not the ideals we were fighting for but the methods we used to accomplish them. These methods will be compared to the warfare of Genghis Khan who ruthlessly killed every last inhabitant of Persia." ~ Hans Albrecht Bethe (b. 1906), German-born American physicist "When the Japanese mend broken objects they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold, because they believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful." ~ Barbara Bloom, American artist "What is history but a fable agreed upon." ~ Napolean Bonaparte (1769-1821)
